The actor stars in Netflix's 'FUBAR' as Luke Brunner, a covert CIA agent on the verge of retirement who discovers that his daughter is a secret agent as well.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s new ‘FUBAR’ character reminds the star of his own infidelity and divorce. But with Maria Shriver, he says, ‘It was my failure.’But just when he thought he was out, they pull him back in, and Luke is sent to rescue an operative, whose cover is about to be blown, from the jungle compound of Boro , an arms dealer with a private army and the philosophical bent common to bad guys in spy movies.
To complicate matters, and underscore the generational theme, Boro is the son of a man Luke killed many years before, when he was undercover himself; guilt-ridden, he anonymously put the boy through school. Luke also has a grown son, Oscar , who is developing an app and, apart from a subplot involving his young stepdaughter, is more or less beside the point.
Roo is good at math, and gay. Aldon is buff and handsome and called Pooh Bear “on account of all the honeypots he collects” — that is, he uses sex as an operational tool. Purely in terms of hotness, he’s a match for Emma, and assumptions will be made. And then there’s the aforementioned Carter , Emma’s nominal boyfriend, who is as weedy as Aldon is buff — there will be some competition between the two — a kindergarten teacher with a thing for “Antiques Roadshow.” It’s to the show’s credit that, unlike that of Tally and Donnie, Emma and Carter’s relationship remains technically an open question — Emma at least claims to love him, and he’s very into her — but there have been no steps taken to demonstrate any actual connection or chemistry.
